Apologies for my absence to several groups of friends here and there. I admit I have been somewhat MIA the past few days or so, be it in online skype or MSN activities or mahjonging or clubbing or etc etc... Every Chinese New Year I am more or less sucked up into this whirlwind of intense eating and gambling (not mahjong) and well, more eating... THUS, I have vowed to hide my (FAT) self at home away from public view until I shed at least a few kilos. Failing that, I will take the next plane to a faraway land and not return for five months until i shed a few kilos. Oh wait, I'm already going to do that.

Also, my MSN has chosen to give up on me in this critical period. It is now wonkily unstable (or unstably wonky) so much so that I have given up use of it altogether.

Hopefully, the faraway land where I will be will have a much stabler internet connection. (I think it's the internet that's making my MSN wonky. Hmmmm.)

In any case, I will be busy packing and stuff (like meeting up with friends before I leave) for the next week or so... so I might not have time to indulge in abovementioned social activities... So... please forgive me. Mahjong can still call me. I will make myself free for you. Haha.
